Nevada Young Caldwell (Rita) is delighted to return to Girl's Guide and thrilled to be working with such a wonderfully twisted and hilarious cast and crew. She was last seen in Jobsite's 2004 Original Works production, Delusion of Darkness, and previously in Murder Ballads and Maxwell. Other favorite roles include The Leader of the Old Women in Gorilla Theatre's anti-war staged reading of Lysistrata, Caitlin in T-R-A-P-P-E-D, Margaret in Much Ado About Nothing, and all of the five ludicrous characters she played in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Miss Caldwell teaches children in theater arts, writes autobiographical sketch lunacy, and sings some mean karaoke in her very limited spare time.

Kari Keller (Cleo ) did not drink enough milk as a child. As a result, she is only five feet, on a warm day, in heels. This does not stop Kari from having tall thoughts. She knew that one day she would be blessed to play with talented Jobsite actors, who would frequently step on her, look right over her while calling her name and set their beer on her head at parties. You might have seen Kari in a previous Jobsite production, Bloody Poetry, where she was often standing on the highest step she could find. She would like to thank her husband for his love and support and for reaching things on high shelves.

Shawn Paonessa (Jake, et al.) has been with Jobsite since 1999. Since his last two productions as a playwright (The Curse of Millhaven with Neil Gobioff) and an assistant director (Bloody Poetry), he is delighted to be back onstage. Due to Ms. Corley's obsession with the Patriot Act, Mr. Paonessa regretfully cannot be "silly" or "make stuff up" in this bio. He cannot mention that he is the walrus, once shared a box of Ding Dongs with the Dalai Lama, was raised by wolves, can decipher the Gender Gap with a banana and an inner tube, or is good with a yo-yo. However, he can mention that he was paid to satirize religious texts (The Bible: The Complete Word of God ) and act like a woman (Cloud 9 ). Mr. Paonessa is a Sagittarius.

Katrina Stevenson is tickled pink to spend another year at the mercy of Jobsite. She first appeared with Jobsite in 2000 and is an actor, director, costumer and proud member of the board. Tampa audiences have witnessed the wackiness that is Katrina in such shows as Laughing Wild, The Crucible, Shear Madness, subUrbia, Dracula, Murder Ballads, Cloud 9, Delusion of Darkness and The Mineola Twins. In 2004, Katrina was voted Best Actress by the readers of the Weekly Planet (she still can't believe it). Katrina directorial credits include Bloody Poetry, The Tibetan Book of the Dead and the sold-out, I-laughed-so-hard-I-peed productions of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) and The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged). Katrina's costumes have been seen for the last few years in everything from Bloody Poetry to The Beauty Queen of Leenane. Her fabulous duds have also garnered a Weekly Planet Best of the Bay award and an Individual Artist Grant from the Hillsborough County Arts Council. Katrina plays Renaissance Woman once again this season: she tackles costumes in every show except one, directs The Complete History of America (abridged) and the Abridged tours in Largo, and hurls herself on stage for Machinal, The March of the Kitefliers and A Girls' Guide to Chaos. Katrina already has a vacation planned in a nice padded room once the season is over.
